Situated on St Aldate's in Oxford, this medieval Gothic and Romanesque cathedral functions as both a parish church and the chapel for Christ Church college. Initially established around 1122 on an ancient place of worship, the compact cathedral features an extraordinary variety of stained glass, ranging from the 14th-century Becket Window to Pre-Raphaelite creations. It stands amidst handsome quadrangles and well-tended grounds within the historic college, which was later founded by Henry VIII in 1546.
